A word about provision in our lives: Where God guides, He provides .   I like this little rhyme, and it actually connects to a Scripture: Isaiah 58:11.   The Bible details it more specifically, and the little saying is the short-and-sweet version of God's full truth: The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.   You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail .  ~Isaiah 58:11 Where God guides, He provides .   We don't have to be rich to follow God and live out His plans for us.  And--we probably won't be.   But-- if and when God gives us his plan...He will provide for us to live it out.  You'll never guess how.  And neither will I.  Be cause God's ways are not our ways.

The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,  ( 5)  but on Cain and...

God sees us and He is for  us today.  (The Lord bends near to us in our hardships today.  He seeks us out right now to remind us that He is the God who sees .) (6)  ... Then Sarai mistreated  Hagar; so she fled from her. ( 7)  The angel of the  Lord  found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.  ( 8)  And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”   “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.   (9)  Then the angel of the  Lord  told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.”  ( 10)  The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”   (13)  She gave this name to the  Lord  who spoke to her: “ You are the God who sees me, ” for she said, “I have now seen  the One who sees me.”  ~Gen 16:6-13 S...
